My little Dachshund/Rat Terrier mix, Lowla, is a really awful shedder! I have no idea how she sheds so much hair, but her coat is just not very thick or soft at all. On her chest and belly it seems to be kinda patchy, but not really, only if you look closely. She did have problems with Demodex mange when she was younger. She's 1 year old now. I can't stand how much she sheds. I've tried all kinds of brushes but nothing really seems to comb any hair out, it's just so short and thin. She eats a great diet, I can't imagine it's that. She started on Canidae and didn't really have much shedding problem (but she was getting dipped and washed every two weeks), and then we switched her to Innova because she wouldn't eat the Canidae anymore, and it seems like that's when the shedding got really bad, but she also stopped the baths and dips then too. We're switching her over to Evo now because she doesn't like Innova anymore. I'm hoping it'll help. So does it sound like it's a health problem or do I need a better grooming tool? I'm so tired of having dog hair in everything, even after we wash clothes there's still dog hair all over everything. Piles of it in the house, the moment she sits down somewhere and sleeps for a while, she wakes up scratches and there's a big pile of hair. Ugh! Help!
